Re: Global Tuner big inertia blocks for OFR Schaller - see ZR trems
Just an update ... CSL Sophia Tremolos and Global Tuners will be at NAMM 2016 Booth 1152.
The design philosophy for CSL Sophia Tremolos offers one of two two base plates, the CSL Sophia 2:22 and CSL Sophia 2:92, to start -- then you can add simple dual function bridge elements of the macro-tuners and its Drop Tuner add-on ... the spring blocks come in three basic variations: adjustable locks stop base model, the 61000 Series Global Tuner / Stop or 81000 Series Global Tuner / dual-stabilizer -- one 2mm wrench
The locking macro-tuners on the CSL Sophia Tremolos offer an option for headless type of setup since they have a capacity of full-range tuners, like tuning pegs -- for starts, it is meant to be used this way for any guitar with at least a locking nut -- thread the plain end though the tuner, lock the string in the tuner, then pull the plain end through the nut, lock, and tune ... in fact, you can thread the string first though the hut, so that the ball-end is there, put the plain end through the nose slot, and then, lock and tune.... When we developed this feature at Ola Strangberg's suggestion, Brain at PW and I, saw how to dimension the internal mechanism for larger diameter strings too, like plain core plain end strings, etc.
We have the new Global Tuner 61000 Series -- it offers 40:1 tuning on a oversized thumbwheel, plus an extended portion to make an adjustable Stop -- both with a setscrew to improve coupling and ensure tuning stability.
